All About the Cameos: See Who Returned to Two and a Half Men and Scandal Last Night

The theme of last night's TV should have been endings (as we said our final goodbyes to a certain Scandal relationship—we think—and Two and a Half Men), but in reality, it was all about the comebacks. Let's take a look at everything and everyone we saw, kinda saw, and didn't see. [The spoiler train is now leaving the station. Please depart if you don't want plot-ruining details!]

Wouldn't you know, we haven't seen or heard a peep from or about Stephen since the end of season one, but the week after we reminisce about Stephen and Abby's forgotten romantic history, he makes his comeback in a big way. Abby orchestrates a last-ditch phone call to her former crush, and Stephen then swoops in to save Olivia from being handed over to the Russian mafia (or shot dead by the CIA). Liv offers him a spot back at OPA, but Stephen would rather exit on his heroic high note, and he's gone nearly as quickly as he arrived. But if Lost taught me anything, it's that Henry Ian Cusick has a knack for popping back up when you least expect it.

WE SORTA SAW: Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men.__

There were a bevy of cameos throughout the Men finale (Amber Tamblyn, Judy Greer, John Stamos), but the question on everyone's mind was: Will Charlie Sheen make an appearance? And the answer is, well, complicated. On the one hand, he was everywhere—the final episode of the CBS sitcom was basically an hour-long roast of its former star. (You can see a breakdown of all the jokes here.) Nothing was spared as the characters took shot after shot at Sheen's various real-life scandals (referencing drugs, "tiger's blood," and Anger Management, among others) and then, opted to kill him off for a second time by dropping a piano on his head. Which brings me to my final point...

Yeah, that was just a look-alike getting squashed by a piano. But apparently Sheen was offered a role in the series finale—but turned it down when executive producer Chuck Lorre wouldn't give him the heartfelt ending he desired.
